Bug#921019: arm64: Please provide sound modules for Allwinner A64 based systems

[Harald Geyer <harald@ccbib.org>]

Package: linux-image-arm64
Version: 4.18+100
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

Please enable the following Kconfig symbols as modules:

CONFIG_SND_SUN50I_CODEC_ANALOG
CONFIG_SND_SUN8I_CODEC
CONFIG_SND_SUN4I_I2S
CONFIG_SND_SOC_SIMPLE_AMPLIFIER
CONFIG_SND_SIMPLE_CARD

These are necessary for sound support on pinebook, Olimex TERES-I, etc.
The drivers are available upstream since 4.20.
Pinebook has sound enabled in devicetree starting with 5.0

I'm currently working on enabling sound for TERES-I ...

Also while looking into this I noticed the following quite general
drivers, that might be reasonable to enable too:

CONFIG_SND_SIMPLE_SCU_CARD
CONFIG_SND_AUDIO_GRAPH_CARD
CONFIG_SND_AUDIO_GRAPH_SCU_CARD
CONFIG_SND_XEN_FRONTEND

However I'm not aware of anybody using them on arm64, so enabling them
is strictly optional.

TIA,
Harald
